This will be a thread about amusement/theme parks, that were soon to be opened but never did or did open and didn't stay open any longer than 1 year, and were shut down for good. Please do post picture(s) (not required but cool/spooky to see.), and a brief or long reason on why it was never to be, of said abandon amusement/theme park!

I was watching a documentary on Netflix (Forgotten Planet) about towns/cities that have been abandoned for different reasons around the world , the very first episode talks about the nuclear Chernobyl accident and the town that was made for the workers Pripyat. the town was only 2 miles away from the nuclear power plant (sorry if I am wrong on that number, but it was quite close!) and 5 days after the nuclear incident happened a local amusement park was set to open. Well it never did because of dangerously high radiation levels and a the fact the people were evacuated from the town. The name of the amusement park is beyond me and it also wasn't a very big one, but it could of had great potential! Here is a picture of the amusement park:

It is really quite chilling to see something like this or to see an entire abandon town at that rate!

Note: I do highly recommend the documentary! It is cool, sad and spooky all in one!

Americana is always the park that comes to my mind first when I hear about these types of things. Visit this site for some pretty good information about it: http://www.forgottenoh.com/Americana/americana.html

I've wanted to visit Pripyat for years. Due to finances, commitments, and politics I haven't put a real effort into trying to go. Also, there is absolutely no upkeep there and the place is crumbling so it's almost certain that I'll never make it.
